For the last three years he has been one of a group of three drivers that hauls animal pharmaceutical products on a dedicated route. During the nomination process, Lynn’s dispatcher Karen Davis said, “Lynn does a great job; he is easygoing and always makes sure that the customers’ needs are met.” Congratulations, Lynn!
